Tasting Notes
Medium yellow-green. Enormous fruit exoticism on the nose, nuances of pomelo, citrus zest, blood oranges, delicate herbal spice. Very mineral on the palate, very light-footed, somewhat shy at the moment, lemony notes on the finish, quite complex, playful and elegant.
More about the tastingLight gold, unusually sweet, like sweet pastries, confectionery, canned fruit cocktail, banana puree, altogether amazingly southern. Shows hardly any minerality and little finesse. Juicy and sweet on the palate, enormous fruit and juiciness, countered with fine acidity. More full-bodied and fruit-sweeter than all its predecessors; catchier, but overall less fine and long than one might expect. Nevertheless, a well-balanced fun wine with bite.
